Our teachers and staff are
committed to helping children grow, develop and to realize their full
potential.
Our goal is to provide
programs and activities that will enable each child to develop at his or
her own pace,
according to his or her own special
interest, learning style, and personality.
The quality of the staff is
an important determinant in the quality of the program.

Church Child
Care Center strives to maintain a high
quality staff
by providing a variety of
in-services and other professional opportunities.
At a minimum, state
qualifications are met.
All staff members working
with children are required to submit to a state police check
and have a physician’s health
form on file.
Fully qualified teachers meet
or exceed state licensing requirements in education and experience.
Our staff is trained
regularly in CPR and First Aid.
Philosophy
The Saint Vincent Child Care
Center is unique in
its approach to providing quality care for all children between the ages of
3 and 10. The center’s philosophy
flows from three basic beliefs which govern its programming.
1) Children should
be allowed to be children. We expect
a three-year old to be three, and a four year old to be four, without the
pressure to prepare for the next age or developmental stage.
2) Children learn
best from each other, and they need to explore safely and experiment with
their environment.
3) Each child
brings to the program his or her unique cultural background.
We strive to
incorporate these characteristics into the child’s daily program.
The school year program is in
operation from September through June,
Monday through Friday,
from 6:30am to 6:00pm.
During the summer program (July and
August),
the Center is open from 6:30am to 6:00pm,
Monday through Friday.
Program Services for Children
ages 3 through 10
Preschool:
A part-time morning program is
available for three, four, or five mornings a week,
between the hours of 9:00am and 1:00pm.
The full-time preschool program is
available five days a week throughout the school year.
Extended Day Kindergarten / School Age:
A “before and after” program is
offered during the school year
for children attending the local public
and parochial schools.
Parents must provide transportation
to the Center each morning and home in the evenings.
To meet the needs of working parents,
this program will remain open a full day on holidays
and during school vacations on a sign-up
basis.
